You are talking past during Empire days. When Ottoman Empire reach its peak. Yes, many Arab tribes sided with Britain, those same Arab tribes are ones who agreed to creation of Israel even though they never got permission from my people. Some of them were Jordanian tribe leader. Arab world entered a phase a tribal ignorance at the time. They still are that way today, that's why Islam is the solution for them. Prophet Muhammad knew only Islam could cure the problems of Arabs and that's why he said don't ever let go of Islam or you will go astray. Arabs need time before they return to Islam and all of us will benefit. That doesn't make Israel reliable ally, all you need to do is look at history of Israel. It has back stabbed everyone in time of war. It bombed US Navy ship(USS Liberty) so it can occupy Arab territories. It sold weapons to Iran during Iran-Iraq war. These are just some examples. But anyway you can do as you wish, I'm just making the point that Israel won't benefit you in this regard and I wouldn't trust them.
Me myself I'm not big on ancient empires or ethnic background. I don't take that stuff seriously, everyone think the region belong to their ethnicity and that they are superior to everyone else. I don't like this mentality. In Palestine we have people of Turkmen descent, my grandma's grandma on one of my family side was Turkish. But this stuff doesn't concern me. I like my country(Palestine) and very enthusiastic about our cause but I see Islam as solution for the whole region overall. Not for one or two country. Islam won't work if we want it applied to one country. Islam works only as overall system.
More Arabs fought against the Revolt than the Arabs that fought against the Ottomans. Only Arab areas to revolt was Hejaz and Hashemite tribes. But Ottomans also had a fault by introducing Turkish nationalism thanks to the new reforms.
